Our Adventurers Are... (Character Thread)

Post by Sir Daggerford »

This thread is specifically for asking questions about character creation, posting created characters, and edited said characters appropriately later on in the game when they get injured, receive experience points and treasure, and the like.

For the most part, I'll be taking care of editing characters appropriately during the game (adding any wounds they get, experience points, treasure, subtracting any rations they eat, money they spend), just because I want to keep everything on the same page and in order.

As far as character creation goes, we'll be using core rules only. You may arrange your ability score rolls to taste, depending on what class/race you wish to play. I'm also enforcing the no repeats rule, which means I'd like to not have two characters of the same class (which means well hopefully end up covering all four of the core class in some way, even if it is through combination classes). Multiple characters of the same race are fine. This rule will be enforced on a first come, first serve basis.

You don't need to write out a long background for your character (though you can if you wish), but at least few sentences would be nice.

I'll be posting a short description of the game world in a bit, so you may want to wait to create a background until I've got that posted. However, the main thing you'll want to note is that Elves and Dwarves are fairly rare in the game world, and that those who do exist live in small communities among humans (rather than having nations of their own).

Let's see what the dice rolls are!
6, 13, 12, 15, 14, 9

Well, looks like I can be an Elf Fighter/Magic-User then, taking a hit to Wisdom but not bad

Cael the Elf Swordspell
Elf Fighter/Magic-User
Str 14 (+1) Int 15 (+1) Wis 6 (-1) Dex 9 (0) Con 13 (0) Cha 12 (0)
HP 6
AC 15
Ray/Poison 12, Wands 11, Para/Petrify 12, Breath 15, Spells 13
Spells - Read Magic, Shield
Coin - 26 gp, 3 sp
Equipment - Longsword, +2 Atk, 1d8+1, Chainmail, Backpack, Common Outfit, Hemp Rope, Waterskin x3 (6 days water), Spellbook, Dry Rations (7 days).

BACKGROUND

Raised in a semi-secluded elven vale within the Kingdom of Tealland, Cael heard tales of the old world before the fall of Everhome. His own family known among the people of the vale as fine weavers of spell and swordplay, Cael took to the art with gusto, dreams of helping push back the darkness filling much of his youth. But with age he knows that he will also need allies and supplies to help spread the small points of light (or at least protect his homeland) against the evils of the world.

Cael stands at a a tall (for elven standards) 5'3" and wields a longsword that was forged by a close relative, wearing hand-me-down chainmail and hoping that he may soon strike against the shadow.

Background:
Arkus grew up an orphan in the slums of the port city of Corias in the Principalities of Jeraf.
His only memory of a "family" are the gang of street kids he grew up with.
He learned to beg, steal and cheat from an early age to survive.
When he grew older, he became a bravo - a guard or enforcer working for lordlings, merchants, or crime lords.
Arkus lives by the bravo's code of honor, which - among other things - requires avenging every insult and being unfailingly corteous to women (even while you rob them).
He believes that stealing from poor is beneath him, but has no qualms taking from the rich, unless they are known to be charitable

A few weeks ago, more by luck than skill, Arkus killed the son of a major underworld figure in a drunken duel.
After sobering up, Arkus panicked and hurriedly left his hometown - for the first time in his life.
He does not know whether anybody is actually searching for him to avenge the killing.
Arkus is now looking for gainful employment since his funds are running low.

@arcbolt: looks good.
@Rhialto: looks good too. As far as a city goes, the City of Corias in the Principalities of Jeraf would work well.

Also, please note. Dry rations are seven days worth of food. Water skins can hold two days worth of water.

Phelan doesn't speak of her past and when questioned her answers tend to be vague and terse. She wears an iron ring (very ornate with a strange stone set in the center) on her left hand. She has dark black hair that she wears in a single tight braid that falls down the center of her back and reaches just past her belt. She takes ale and other strong drink but never to the point of inebriation. Her sense of humor is very dry. She rarely laughs and only seems to smile when she has made a substantial dent in a foe's hide with her war hammer.

Okay everybody. I think we are ready to start the actual game now. From this point, I'd like all OOC discussion to be kept to the OOC discussion thread, and this thread only be used to edit characters and the like.

Thanks

I'll start the first chapter of the game tonight or tomorrow. It'll have the basic set-up for the beginning of the campaign.

Also, I will be moving most of the non-"character sheet" posts from this thread to the OOC discussion, so that all of the actual characters will be on one page.
